About the Opportunity
Imagine exploring Australia on a Working Holiday while accelerating your consulting career with one of Oceania's most dynamic EY‐Parthenon Strategy & Transactions teams.
At EY‐Parthenon, we combine strategy, transactions, corporate finance and transformation to deliver outcomes that work in practice—not just on paper.
We are seeking talented professionals at all levels across multiple locations with relevant experience in:

You'll work with some of the world's largest organisations, fastest‐growing companies and leading private equity firms on complex, high‐impact engagements. From defining strategy and assessing commercial attractiveness to executing transactions and driving post‐deal value, you'll contribute across the full investment lifecycle as part of integrated, multidisciplinary teams.
This hybrid role can be performed from any of our EY offices across Australia.

* Lead transactions from conception through to completion, including target sourcing, valuation, deal negotiations and overall transaction management.
* Create and execute strategic plans that support sustainable growth, market expansion and long‐term success for clients.
* Design and optimise organisational structures, processes and capabilities to increase efficiency and effectiveness.
* Guide clients through the end‐to‐end transaction lifecycle, ensuring seamless execution, risk management and successful integration outcomes.
